Bye Miss Ebberle

Im so exhausted this morning coz, I was driving a taxi around in Melbourne all night. I even did a burn out in the mall before pulling up in the 2 minute taxi stand, to get over the adrenaline rush. Can you believe it...people kept getting in the passengers seat and telling me in a very unfriendly way where they wanted me to take them. When I told them I was just resting for 2 minutes they got out of the cab, slamming the door and shouting "ARSHOLE". Bloody Melbourne people are soooo rude!!! The word Malaka featured quite heavly during this scene.

Then I woke up.




These two sheilas have the same colour hair.





Thanks for coming to stay Ebbs. I always feel nourished, spiritually, mentally and physically after spending time with you, my friend.

Door shoes

Yesterday, when I got home from work Ebbs' shoes were kicked off at the front door. I never really know how much I missed seeing shoes at the front door of my home, till I saw them.

Ive also been doing a lot of slow cooking and find I can almost trick myself into thinking some one has broken in and whipped me up a nourishing meal for my tea.

Its these small things that you miss when you live alone.

JC

No mistake - SHE IS HERE.

The way you know the seasons changed.

A hurricane's hurtling towards something invisible

with a mighty force of indignation.

Slowly,

relenting and allowing the whitest pin point of light,

to creep between the cold drops of the rainbow,

on a gray winters day.

Water Lillies @ Floriade

Yesterday I was trying to upload 3 photos and the program kept crashing, that why this entry was wordless for a day. Monets water lillies are so inspiring and I just love the shapes of these gentle plants, that huddle together without damaging each other. Living water, so strong and supportive....

Self Scan

BigW have self scanning now in the express lane for small items. How amazing is that? You need to have a card to make the sale and commonsense as well so there is a lot of multitasking involved. Lucky Ori was there to guide me thru the whole processes.

After that, I thought bugger it - Ill go down to the library and self scan some books and disc. I'm on a roll now. Wondering if mammograms are going to feature in this way in the future.

Feelings

Dad ran away yesterday and left me all alone with Jenny. Speaking of Jenny, Slavko has agreed to take her and said I can come and visit any time I like. Its all coming together now, loan application approved, stamp duty to be paid & time to commit to a budget again.

So much for having good feelings about getting a job. Missed out, but glad of the opportunity to interview.

Start a new IT job on Thursday and looking forward to that.

Lunch at Tossers again. Dad with Serena, Janet and myself.

Daily Routine

Dad assumes the position to read the news. The news fix by paper, TV and radio are all part of his day. Got the salt and scotch bottle at the ready as well.

Misses

Miss Scott and Miss Ebberle, looking rather full in the face after breaky at the Savoury Bite. I really like this photo, that's taken by Dad.

Back Home

2500km in 3 days leaves you with nuthin much more in your head but the road. Well worth the trip to farewell my uncle. The only uncle that has ever really loved us. Fought for his country, sustained a family of 10, and was one of the best humour artists I've had the joy to know. One of his statements when he was hungry was "I could eat a babys bum through a cane chair, I'm so hungry". Only a certain generation will get this one but its priceless.

Pattersons Curse in full bloom. Pleasing to the eye, but not sure what it does to country.
